PLoS and Impact Factor

Philip Davis has a new post on PLoS and its high impact factor. From the post:

Last week PLoS ONE received its first impact factor — a stunning 4.351. This puts the open access journal in the top 25th percentile of ISI’s “Biology” category, a group of journals that sports a median impact factor of just 1.370.
